Rachel's challenge for International Women's Day

As you know I never do sponsored events and don't run but when I saw that the Fawcett Society were looking for people to join their team raising money to support the work of the Fawcett Society on equal pay and equal opportunities for all of us women and our daughters, sisters, nieces and granddaughters I thought what better cause to get me to participate. Luckily the race can be done walking or running so I will walk as fast as I can! I joined the Fawcett Society when I realised that 100 years on there is still so much to be done to reach equality and I don't want the next generation to be having the same challenges.

Inspire others: Volunteer with Future Fawcett

2018 marks 100 years since women first secured the right to vote, and we're marking it by launching Future Fawcett, an education outreach programme to inspire young people through our suffrage history, and teach them about women's rights today.

We need volunteers to make it happen. Are you ready to inspire the next generation of feminists?

Don't let the clock turn back on women's rights. Donate today.

We've been fighting for over 150 years to win hard-earned rights for women living in Britain. With Brexit on the horizon, it's more important than ever that we stand together to defend them. Will you stand with us, and help end gender inequality for good?
